Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention concerns inhibitors of ubiquitin specific protease 19 (USP19) and methods of use thereof.

BACKGROUND

Over the past decade, protein ubiquitination has emerged as an important post-translational modification with roles in a plethora of cellular processes including amongst others proteolysis, gene expression, DNA repair, immune response, metabolism or cell cycle regulation. Dysregulation of the Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple human diseases including but not limited to cancer (Hoeller D. et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer (2006), 6, 776-788), viral infection (Gao et al., Can. J. Physiol., Pharmacol. (2006), 84, 5-14), metabolic or neurodegenerative disorders (Loosdregt J. et al., Immunity (2013), 39, 259-271; Rubinsztein D., et al., Nature (2006), 443, 780-786) as well as immune and inflammatory-related medical conditions (Wang J. et al., J. Cell Immunol. (2006), 3, 255-261; Corn J. et al., Nat. Struct. & Mol. Biol. (2014), 21, 297-300; Nicholson B. et al., Cell Biochem. Biophys. (2011), 60, 61-68).

The approval and clinical success of the proteasome inhibitors Velcade® (bortezomib) or Kyprolis® (carfilzomib) for the treatment of mantel cell lymphoma (AML) and multiple myeloma (MM) have validated the UPS as a cancer target amenable for pharmacological intervention. Although effective, their clinical utility has however been severely limited due to poor selectivity and acute toxicity issues. By inhibiting the 26S proteasome, the current proteasome inhibitors indiscriminately impair proteolysis in both cancer and normal cells and are characterized by a low therapeutic index. To circumvent this issue, a promising alternative approach may be to target the UPS upstream of the proteasome. Interfering with the ubiquitin (Ub) conjugation/deconjugation machinery, for instance at the level of the Ubiquitin Specific Proteases (USPs), would allow for the development of improved therapeutics with enhanced specificity and reduced toxicity profiles.

USPs are the largest subfamily of the deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) family with over 60 family members reported to date (Komander D. et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. (2009), 10, 550-563; Clague M. et al., Physiol. Rev. (2013), 93, 1289-1315). USPs are typically cysteine proteases that catalyze the removal of Ub from specific target substrates thus preventing their induced degradation by the proteasome, or regulating their activation and/or subcellular localization (Colland F. et al., Biochimie (2008), 90, 270-283; Nicholson B. et al., Cell Biochem. Biophys. (2011), 60, 61-68). It is now well established that USPs regulate the stability and activation of numerous proteins involved in the pathogenesis of human diseases including both oncogenes and tumor suppressors. As such, USPs represent an emerging and attractive target class for pharmacological intervention.

Amongst all USPs, USP19 is an important member due to its association with a number of important pathways with implications for pathological conditions including but not restricted to cancer, neurodegeneration and degenerative diseases as well as antiviral immune response. USP19 expresses as multiple isoforms varying in length from 71.09 kDa (isoform 2) to 156.03 kDa (isoform 5) with the canonical sequence (isoform 1) of 145.65 kDa in size (uniprot.org). The cellular localization of USP19 may be cytosolic or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (Lee J. et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2014), 289, 3510-3507; Lee J. et al., Nat. Cell Biol. (2016), 18, 765-776). Localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, USP19 is a key component of the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway (Hassink B. et al., EMBO J. (2009), 10, 755-761; Lee J. et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2014), 289, 3510-3507; Lee J. et al., Nat. Cell Biol. (2016), 18, 765-776). In particular, USP19 is involved in the latter steps of the protein quality-control machinery rescuing ERAD substrates that have been retro-translocated to the cytosol. USP19 has also been demonstrated to regulate the stability of the E3 ligases MARCH6 and HRD1 (Nakamura N. et al., Exp. Cell Res. (2014), 328, 207-216; Harada K. et al., Int. J. Mol. Sci. (2016), 17, E1829). In addition, USP19 has recently been implicated in the stabilization of multiple and potentially important protein substrates. For instance, USP19 interacts with SIAH proteins to rescue HIF1α from degradation under hypoxic conditions (Altun M. et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2012), 287, 1962-1969; Velasco K. et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. (2013), 433, 390-395). USP19 also stabilizes the KPC1 ubiquitin ligase which is involved in the regulation of the p27^Kip1 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (Lu Y. et al., Mol. Cell Biol. (2009), 29, 547-558). Knockout of USP19 by RNAi leads to p27^Kip1 accumulation and inhibition of cell proliferation (Lu L. et al., PLoS ONE (2011), 6,e15936). USP19 was also found to interact with the inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) including c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 (Mei Y. et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2011), 286, 35380-35387). Knockdown of USP19 decreases the total levels of these c-IAPs whilst overexpression increases the levels of both BIRC2/cIAP1 and BIRC3/cIAP2. Knockdown of USP19 also enhances TNFα-induced caspase activation and apoptosis in a BIRC2/c-IAP1 and BIRC3/c-IAP2 dependent manner. In addition to some direct involvement in regulating hypoxia response and ER stress, USP19 has also been implicated recently as a positive regulator of autophagy and negative regulator of type I interferon signaling (IFN, antiviral immune response) by deubiquitinating Beclin-1. USP19 was found to stabilize Beclin-1 at the post-translational level by removing the K11-linked ubiquitin chains of Beclin-1 at Lysine 437 (Jin S. et al., EMBO J. (2016), 35, 866-880). USP19 negatively regulates type I IFN signaling pathway, by blocking RIG-I-MAVS interaction in a Beclin-1 dependent manner. Depletion of either USP19 or Beclin-1 inhibits autophagic flux and promotes type I IFN signaling as well as cellular antiviral immunity (Jin S. et al., EMBO J. (2016), 35, 866-880; Cui J. et al., Autophagy (2016), 12, 1210-1211). Recent findings also indicate USP19 may negatively affect the cellular antiviral type I IFN signaling by regulating the TRAF3 substrate (Gu Z. et al., Future Microbiol. (2017), 12, 767-779). USP19 has also been recently implicated in the Wnt signaling pathway by stabilizing the coreceptor LRP6 (Perrody E. et al., eLife (2016), 5, e19083) and in the DNA repair processes, most particularly chromosomal stability and integrity, by regulating the HDAC1 and HDAC2 proteins (Wu M. et al., Oncotarget (2017), 8, 2197-2208).

In addition to cancer and associated conditions, USP19 has been linked in gene knock out studies to muscle-wasting syndromes and other skeletal muscle atrophy disorders (Wing S., Int. J. Biochem. Cell Biol. (2013), 45, 2130-2135; Wing S. et al., Int. J. Biochem. Cell Biol. (2016), 79, 426-468; Wiles B. et al., Mol. Biol. Cell (2015), 26, 913-923; Combaret L. et al., Am. J. Physiol. Endocrinol. Metab. (2005), 288, E693-700), each of which is incorporated herein by reference). Muscle wasting associated with conditions such as cachexia is known to impair quality of life and response to therapy, which increase morbidity and mortality of cancer patients. Muscle wasting is also associated with other serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, heart failure, rheumatoid arthritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Wiles B. et al., Mol. Biol. Cell (2015), 26, 913-923). Muscle wasting is also a prominent feature of aging.

Beyond the above pathological conditions, USP19 may also have implications in the pathogenesis of degenerative diseases including but not restricted to Parkinson's disease and other prion-like transmission disorders by regulating important substrates such as α-synuclein or polyglutamine-containing proteins, Ataxin3, Huntington (He W. et al., PLoS ONE (2016), 11, e0147515; Bieri G. et al., Neurobiol Dis. (2018), 109B, 219-225). The regulation of coronin 2A (CORO2A) through the activity of USP19 has been shown to affect the transcriptional repression activity of the retinoic acid receptor (RAR), suggesting that USP19 may also be involved in the regulation of RAR-mediated adipogenesis (Lim K. et al., Oncotarget (2016), 7, 34759-34772).

The established and ever growing connections between USP19 and numerous proteins involved in human pathologies indicate that small molecule inhibitors of USP19 may have broad therapeutic applications beneficial to human health. Insofar as is known however, no inhibitors targeting USP19 have been reported and the identification of such inhibitors with drug-like potential therefore remains of prime importance and high priority.

USP19 has been associated with a number of diseases and conditions including (but not limited to) cancer and neoplastic conditions. Knockout of USP19 by RNAi leads to p27^Kip1 accumulation and inhibition of cell proliferation (Lu Y. et al., PLoS ONE (2011), 6, e15936). USP19 was also found to interact with the inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) including c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 (Mei Y. et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2011), 286, 35380-35387). Knockdown of USP19 decreases the total levels of these c-IAPs whilst overexpression increases the levels of both BIRC2/cIAP1 and BIRC3/cIAP2. Knockdown of USP19 also enhances TNFα-induced caspase activation and apoptosis in a BIRC2/c-IAP1 and BIRC3/c-IAP2 dependent manner. USP19 has also been recently implicated in the Wnt signaling pathway by stabilizing the coreceptor LRP6 (Perrody E. et al., eLife (2016), 5, e19083) and in the DNA repair processes, most particularly chromosomal stability and integrity, by regulating the HDAC1 and HDAC2 proteins (Wu M. et al., Oncotarget (2017), 8, 2197-2208).

In vivo studies have also demonstrated that mice lacking the USP19 gene (USP19 KO mice) exhibited a decrease in fat mass when fed a high-fat diet (Coyne E. et al., Diabetologia (2019), 62, 136-146, which is incorporated herein by reference). USP19 KO mice also exhibited greater glucose tolerance and higher insulin sensitivity when fed a high-fat diet.

USP19 is also implicated in muscular atrophy, muscle-wasting syndromes and other skeletal muscle atrophy disorders (Wing S., Int. J. Biochem. Cell Biol. (2013), 45, 2130-2135; Wing S. et al., Int. J. Biochem. Cell Biol. (2016), 79, 426-468; Wiles B. et al., Mol. Biol. Cell (2015), 26, 913-923; Combaret L. et al., Am. J. Physiol. Endocrinol. Metab. (2005), 288, E693-700). This was supported for instance by studies which demonstrated that USP19-silencing induced the expression of myofibrillar proteins and promoted myogenesis (Sundaram P. et al., Am. J. Physiol. Endocrinol. Metab. (2009), 297, E1283-90; Ogawa M. et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2011), 286, 41455-41465; Ogawa M. et al., J. Endocrinol. (2015), 225, 135-145).

Knockout studies have demonstrated that mice lacking the USP19 gene were resistant to muscle wasting in response to both glucocorticoids, a common systemic cause of muscle atrophy, as well as in response to denervation, a model of disuse atrophy (Bedard N. et al., FASEB J. (2015), 29, 3889-3898, which is incorporated herein by reference).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Unless otherwise defined herein, scientific and technical terms used in connection with the present invention shall have the meanings that are commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. The meaning and scope of the terms should be clear, however, in the event of any latent ambiguity, definitions provided herein take precedence over any dictionary or extrinsic definition.

As used in the specification and the appended claims, unless specified to the contrary, the following terms have the meaning indicated:

The term “alkyl group” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means a straight- or branched-chain saturated hydrocarbon substituent typically containing 1 to 15 carbon atoms, such as 1 to 10, 1 to 8, 1 to 6, or 1 to 4 carbon atoms. A “C_n alkyl” group refers to an aliphatic group containing n carbon atoms. For example, a C₁-C₁₀ alkyl group contains 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 carbon atoms. Attachment to the alkyl group occurs through a carbon atom. Examples of such substituents include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl (branched or unbranched), hexyl (branched or unbranched), heptyl (branched or unbranched), octyl (branched or unbranched), nonyl (branched or unbranched), and decyl (branched or unbranched).

A “C_n heteroalkyl” group refers to an aliphatic group containing n carbon atoms and one or more heteroatoms, for example one heteroatom. For example, a C₁-C₁₀ heteroalkyl group contains 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 carbon atoms in addition to one or more heteroatoms, for example one heteroatom. Attachment to the heteroalkyl group occurs through a carbon atom or through a heteroatom.

The term “carbocyclyl group” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means a saturated cyclic (i.e. “cycloalkyl”), partially saturated cyclic (i.e. “cycloalkenyl”), or completely unsaturated (i.e. “aryl”) hydrocarbon substituent containing from 3 to 14 carbon ring atoms (“ring atoms” are the atoms bound together to form the ring or rings of a cyclic substituent). A carbocyclyl may be a single-ring (monocyclic) or polycyclic ring structure.

A carbocyclyl may be a single ring structure, which typically contains 3 to 8 ring atoms, more typically 3 to 7 ring atoms, and more typically 5 to 6 ring atoms. Examples of such single-ring carbocyclyls include cyclopropyl (cyclopropanyl), cyclobutyl (cyclobutanyl), cyclopentyl (cyclopentanyl), cyclopentenyl, cyclopentadienyl, cyclohexyl (cyclohexanyl), cyclohexenyl, cyclohexadienyl, and phenyl.

In a spirocyclic carbocyclyl, one atom is common to two different rings. An example of a spirocyclic carbocyclyl is spiropentanyl. In a bridged carbocyclyl, the rings share at least two common non-adjacent atoms. Examples of bridged carbocyclyls include bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanyl, bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enyl, and adamantanyl. In a fused-ring carbocyclyl system, two or more rings may be fused together, such that two rings share one common bond. Examples of two- or three-fused ring carbocyclyls include naphthalenyl, tetrahydronaphthalenyl (tetralinyl), indenyl, indanyl (dihydroindenyl), anthracenyl, phenanthrenyl, and decalinyl.

The term “cycloalkyl group” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon substituent containing 3 to 14 carbon ring atoms. A cycloalkyl may be a single carbon ring, which typically contains 3 to 8 carbon ring atoms and more typically 3 to 6 ring atoms. It is understood that attachment to a cycloalkyl group is via a ring atom of the cycloalkyl group. Examples of single-ring cycloalkyls include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl. A cycloalkyl may alternatively be polycyclic or contain more than one ring. Polycyclic cycloalkyls include bridged, fused, and spirocyclic cycloalkyls.

The term “alkylcycloalkyl” refers to a cycloalkyl substituent attached via an alkyl chain. Examples of an alkylcycloalkyl substituent include cyclohexylethane, where the cyclohexane is attached via an ethane linker. Other examples include cyclopropylethane, cyclobutylethane, cyclopentylethane, cycloheptylethane, cyclohexylmethane. In a “C_n” alkylcycloalkyl, C_n includes the carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and in the cycloalkyl ring. For example, cyclohexylethane is a C8 alkylcycloalkyl.

The term “aryl group” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means an aromatic carbocyclyl containing from 5 to 14 carbon ring atoms, optionally 5 to 8, 5 to 7, optionally 5 to 6 carbon ring atoms. A “C_n aryl” group refers to an aromatic group containing n carbon atoms. For example, a C₆-C₁₀ aryl group contains 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 carbon atoms. Attachment to the aryl group occurs through a carbon atom. An aryl group may be monocyclic or polycyclic (i.e. may contain more than one ring). In the case of polycyclic aromatic rings, only one ring in the polycyclic system is required to be unsaturated while the remaining ring(s) may be saturated, partially saturated or unsaturated. Attachment to the aryl group occurs through a carbon atom contained in the ring. Examples of aryl groups include phenyl, naphthyl, acridinyl, indenyl, indanyl, and tetrahydronapthyl.

The term “arylalkyl” refers to an aryl substituent attached via an alkyl chain. Examples of an arylalkyl substituent include benzyl and phenylethane/ethylbenzene, where the ethane chain links to a phenyl group to the point of attachment. In a “C_n” arylalkyl, C_n includes the carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and in the aryl group. For example, ethylbenzene is a C8 arylalkyl.

The term “heterocyclyl group” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means a saturated (i.e. “heterocycloalkyl”), partially saturated (i.e. “heterocycloalkenyl”), or completely unsaturated (i.e. “heteroaryl”) ring structure containing a total of 3 to 14 ring atoms, wherein at least one of the ring atoms is a heteroatom (i.e. oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur), with the remaining ring atoms being carbon atoms. A heterocyclyl group may, for example, contain one, two, three, four or five heteroatoms. Attachment to the heterocyclyl group may occur through a carbon atom and/or one or more heteroatoms that are contained in the ring. A heterocyclyl may be a single-ring (monocyclic) or polycyclic ring structure.

A heterocyclyl group may be a single ring, which typically contains from 3 to 7 ring atoms, more typically from 3 to 6 ring atoms, and even more typically 5 to 6 ring atoms.

A heterocyclyl group may alternatively be polycyclic (i.e. may contain more than one ring). Examples of polycyclic heterocyclyl groups include bridged, fused, and spirocyclic heterocyclyl groups. In a spirocyclic heterocyclyl group, one atom is common to two different rings. In a bridged heterocyclyl group, the rings share at least two common non-adjacent atoms. In a fused-ring heterocyclyl group, two or more rings may be fused together, such that two rings share one common bond. Examples of fused ring heterocyclyl groups containing two or three rings include indolizinyl, pyranopyrrolyl, 4H-quinolizinyl, purinyl, naphthyridinyl, pyridopyridinyl (including pyrido[3,4-b]-pyridinyl, pyrido[3,2-b]-pyridinyl, or pyrido[4,3-b]-pyridinyl), and pteridinyl.

The term “heterocycloalkyl group” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means a saturated heterocyclyl. A “C_n heterocycloalkyl” group refers to a cyclic aliphatic group containing n carbon atoms in addition to at least one heteroatom, for example nitrogen. For example, a C₁-C₁₀ heterocycloalkyl group contains 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 carbon ring atoms in addition to the at least one heteroatom. Attachment to the heterocycloalkyl group occurs through a carbon atom or one of the at least one heteroatoms.

The term “alkylheterocycloalkyl” refers to a heterocycloalkyl substituent attached via an alkyl chain. In a “C_n” alkylheterocycloalkyl, C_n includes the carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and in the heterocycloalkyl ring. For example, ethylpiperidine is a C7 alkylheterocycloalkyl.

The term “heteroaryl group” (alone or in combination with another term(s)) means an aromatic heterocyclyl containing from 5 to 14 ring atoms. A “C_n heteroaryl” group refers to an aromatic group containing n carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom. For example, a C₂-C₁₀ aryl group contains 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 carbon atoms in addition to at least one heteroatom. Attachment to the heteroaryl group occurs through a carbon atom or through a heteroatom. A heteroaryl group may be monocyclic or polycyclic. A heteroaryl may be a single ring or 2 or 3 fused rings. Examples of monocyclic heteroaryl groups include 6-membered rings such as pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, and 1,3,5-, 1,2,4- or 1,2,3-triazinyl; 5-membered rings such as imidazolyl, furanyl, thiophenyl, pyrazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, 1,2,3-, 1,2,4-, 1,2,5-, or 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl and isothiazolyl. Polycyclic heteroaryl groups may be 2 or 3 fused rings. Examples of polycyclic heteroaryl groups include 6/5-membered fused ring groups such as benzothiofuranyl, benzisoxazolyl, benzoxazolyl, and purinyl; and 6/6-membered fused ring groups such as benzopyranyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, cinnolinyl, quinazolinyl, and benzoxazinyl. In the case of polycyclic heteroaryl groups, only one ring in the polycyclic system is required to be unsaturated while the remaining ring(s) may be saturated, partially saturated or unsaturated.

A nitrogen-containing heteroaryl group is a heteroaryl group in which at least one of the one or more heteroatoms in the ring is nitrogen.

The term “heteroarylalkyl” refers to a heteroaryl substituent attached via an alkyl chain. Examples of a heteroarylalkyl substituent include ethylpyridine, where the ethane chain links a pyridine group to the point of attachment.

The term “amino group” refers to the —NR_mR_n group. The amino group can be optionally substituted. In an unsubstituted amino group, R′ and R″ are hydrogen.

In a substituted amino group R_m and R_n may cyclise to form a cyclic amino group, e.g. a pyrrolidine group or a piperidine group. Such a cyclic amino group may incorporate other heteroatoms, for example to form a piperazine or morpholine group. Such a cyclic amino group may be optionally substituted, e.g. with an amino group, a hydroxyl group or an oxo group.

The term “aminoalkyl” group refers to the —RNR_mR_n group, wherein R is an alkyl chain as defined above and NR_mR_n is an optionally substituted amino group as defined above. “C_n aminoalkyl” group refers to a group containing n carbon atoms. For example, a C₁-C₁₀ aminoalkyl group contains 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 carbon atoms. When the amino group of the aminoalkyl group is a substituted amino group, the number of carbon atoms includes any carbon atoms in the substituent groups. Attachment to the aminoalkyl group occurs through a carbon atom of the R alkyl group. Examples of aminoalkyl substituents include methylamine, ethylamine, methylaminomethyl, dimethylaminomethyl, methylaminoethyl, dimethylaminoethyl, methylpyrrolidine, and ethylpyrrolidine

The term “amido group” refers to the —C(═O)—NR— group. Attachment may be through the carbon or nitrogen atom. For example, the amido group may be attached as a substituent via the carbon atom only, in which case the nitrogen atom has two R groups attached (—C(═O)—NR₂). The amido group may be attached by the nitrogen atom only, in which case the carbon atom has an R group attached (—NR—C(═O)R).

The term sulfoximine refers to sulfoximine substituents that are either S-linked or N-linked—that is, attachment may be through the sulfur or nitrogen atom.

By way of further example, the sulfoximine group may be attached as a substituent via the nitrogen atom, in which case the sulfur atom has two attached R groups in addition to the oxo group—that is, the group is —NS(O)RR′. In unsubstituted sulfoximine groups, each of R and R′ are H. Alternatively, the sulfoximine group may be substituted at one or both of R and R′, for example to form a dimethyl sulfoximine, where both R and R′ are methyl.

The term “ether” refers to an —O-alkyl group or an -alkyl-O-alkyl group, for example a methoxy group, a methoxymethyl group or an ethoxyethyl group. The alkyl chain(s) of an ether can be linear, branched or cyclic chains. The ether group can be optionally substituted (a “substituted ether”) with one or more substituents. A C_n ether refers to an ether group having n carbons in all alkyl chains of the ether group. For example, a CH(CH3)-O—C6H11 ether is a C₈ ether group.

If a group, for example an alkyl group, is “optionally substituted”, it is understood that the group has one or more substituents attached (substituted) or does not have any substituents attached (unsubstituted).

If a group is substituted with a further optionally substituted group, it is understood that the first substituent may itself be either unsubstituted or substituted.

For completeness, it is also noted that certain chemical formulae used herein define delocalized systems. This definition is known in the art as a definition of aromaticity and may indicate the presence of, for example, a planar mono-, di- or tri-cyclic system that contains (4n+2) electrons where n is an integer. In other words, these systems may display Hückel aromaticity.

In whatever aspect, the compounds of the present invention may possess some aspect of stereochemistry. For example, the compounds may possess chiral centres and/or planes and/or axes of symmetry. As such, the compounds may be provided as single stereoisomers, single diastereomers, mixtures of stereoisomers or as racemic mixtures, unless otherwise specified. Stereoisomers are known in the art to be molecules that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but which differ in their spatial orientations of their atoms and/or groups.

In addition, the compounds of the present invention may exhibit tautomerism. Each tautomeric form is intended to fall within the scope of the invention.

In addition, the compounds of the present invention may be provided as a pro-drug. Pro-drugs are transformed, generally in vivo, from one form to the active forms of the drugs described herein.

In addition, it will be understood that the elements described herein may be the common isotope or an isotope other than the common isotope. For example, a hydrogen atom may be ¹H, ²H (deuterium) or ³H (tritium).

In addition, the compounds of the present invention may be provided in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or as co-crystals.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to ionic compounds formed by the addition of an acid to a base. The term refers to such salts that are considered in the art as being suitable for use in contact with a patient, for example in vivo and pharmaceutically acceptable salts are generally chosen for their non-toxic, non-irritant characteristics.

The term “co-crystal” refers to a multi-component molecular crystal, which may comprise non-ionic interactions.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts and co-crystals may be prepared by ion exchange chromatography or by reacting the free base or acidic form of a compound with stoichiometric amounts or with an excess of the desired salt-forming inorganic or organic acid or base in one or more suitable solvents, or by mixing the compound with another pharmaceutically acceptable compound capable of forming a co-crystal.

Salts known in the art to be generally suitable for use in contact with a patient include salts derived from inorganic and/or organic acids, including the hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, bisulfate, nitrate, acetate, oxalate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, citrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate and tartrate. These may include cations based on the alkali and alkaline earth metals, such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, as well as ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium. Further reference is made to the number of literature sources that survey suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts, for example the handbook of pharmaceutical salts published by IUPAC.

In addition, the compounds of the present invention may sometimes exist as zwitterions, which are considered as part of the invention.

As used herein, a USP19 inhibitor refers to a compound which acts on USP19 so as to decrease the activity of the enzyme. Examples of USP19 inhibitors are exemplified compounds herein. Preferably a USP19 inhibitor exhibits an IC₅₀ of less than 5 μM, preferably less than 0.5 μM.

As used herein, “obesity” refers to the medical condition characterized by excess body fat. Obesity can be characterized by, for example, a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 30. Treatment of obesity may be indicated by, for example, the reduction of body fat, in percentage and/or absolute mass terms. Treatment of obesity may also be exemplified by a reduction in the rate of body fat accumulation by a subject compared to before treatment.

As used herein, “insulin resistance” refers to the medical condition characterized by an abnormally weak response to insulin. Since insulin resistance is typically not treated by exogenous insulin treatment, the resistance is typically to insulin produced by the body of the subject, though the subject may also be resistant to exogenous insulin. “Insulin resistance” encompasses the conditions “prediabetes” and Type II diabetes. Insulin resistance may be indicated, for example, by a glucose tolerance test (GTT) glycaemia of 7.8 mmol/L or greater. Type II diabetes is typically diagnosed following a glucose tolerance test (GTT) glycaemia of 11.1 mmol/L or greater.

Treatment of insulin resistance may be indicated by an improvement (i.e. reduction) in the subject's GTT glycaemia compared to before treatment. Treatment may also be indicated by a reduction in the subject's blood sugar concentration under normal conditions compared to before treatment.

As used herein, “muscular atrophy” and “muscle-wasting” are used interchangeably to refer to decrease in muscle mass in a subject, including in the context of cachexia or sarcopenia, for example. Muscular atrophy can be as a result of temporary or permanent disability, temporary or permanent immobilization of a limb, extended bedrest, cachexia (for example as a result of cancer, heart failure, or COPD), or sarcopenia.

Treatment of muscular atrophy may be characterized as the slowing of the rate of atrophy—that is, treatment results in less muscle mass lost over a given period of time. Preferably, successful treatment results in no loss of muscle mass.

Accordingly, in a first aspect is provided a compound of formula (I):

†For Examples 15 and 16, the activity stated reflects of the 2:1 mixture
of the Examples that was isolated during their preparation.
The USP19 inhibitory activities are classified as the following:
	****	***	**	*
USP19	IC50 < 0.5	0.5 ≤ IC50 < 5	5 ≤ IC50 < 50	50 ≤ IC50 <
IC50 [μM]				250

USP19 activity was determined in a fluorescence polarization (FP) homogeneous assay using the isopeptide Ubiquitin-Lys-TAMRA substrate (either AUB-101, Almac Sciences Scotland Limited, or U-558, Boston Biochem, both of which gave identical results). Full-length USP19 was purchased from Boston Biochem (E-576). Unless otherwise stated, all other reagents were purchased from Sigma. Enzymatic reactions were conducted in black flat bottom polystyrene 384-well plates (Nunc) and 30 μL total volume. USP19 (2.5 nM, 10 μL) was incubated in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM DTT, 0.05% BSA (w/v), 0.05% CHAPS) in the presence or absence of inhibitor (10 μL). Inhibitors were stored as 10 mM DMSO stocks in an inert environment (low humidity, dark, low oxygen, room temperature) using the Storage Pod System and serial dilutions were prepared in buffer just prior to the assay (from 200 μM to 2 pM, 8-18 data point curve). Following incubation at rt for 30 min, the enzymatic reactions were initiated by dispensing the Ub substrate (500 nM, 10 μL). FP was measured every 15 min over a period of 90 min (within the linear range of the assay) using a Synergy 4 plate reader (BioTek) exciting at 530 nm and measuring the amount of parallel and perpendicular light at 575 nm. The FP signal was subsequently normalized to the no compound control. Data were plotted and fitted, and the concentrations resulting in 50% inhibition (IC₅₀) were calculated using the non-linear regression curve fitting model using GraphPad (Prism). IC₅₀ values for the inhibitors of the invention are compiled in Table 1 and represent the average of at least two duplicate experiments.

Nomenclature

Unless otherwise indicated, the nomenclature of structures was determined using the ‘Convert Structure to Name’ function of ChemDraw Professional 15.1 or 17.1 (CambridgeSoft/PerkinElmer). In the cases of ‘Example 25 and Example 26’ and ‘Example 65 and Example 66’, the tertiary alcohol group has been tentatively assigned based on previous findings in which X-ray crystal structure data was obtained and the Flack parameter was determined which showed that the (S)-configuration at this chiral centre results in the more active stereoisomers. In addition for Examples 184, 185, 210-228, 278, 279, 281-294, 299-304, 307-320, 322-324, 326-337 that contain a spirocyclopentane group and a single stereoisomer at the tertiary alcohol position, the chiral centre was also assigned to be of (S)-configuration for these compounds by inference from the gem-dimethyl analogous series. However, it should be noted that for all of these Examples, it may be the case that they have been assigned with the incorrect configuration at the tertiary alcohol position due to an error in the determination of the X-ray crystallography data or in the strategy of inferring the stereochemistry from other compounds. Therefore, it is possible that these compounds have the opposite (R)-configuration at this position, although it is thought to be unlikely. Both (R)- and (S)-enantiomers are disclosed herein, with the most potent preferred. Example 320 also has a second chiral centre at the phenylpiperazine that has been assigned (R)-configuration by inferring from the corresponding Example 278 which was prepared from commercial enantiopure tert-butyl (R)-3-phenylpiperazine-1-carboxylate. In this case, the compounds with (S)-configuration at this centre are less potent.
